We are delighted to have been awarded Shipping Set of the Year at the Chambers & Partners Bar Awards 2018. 

In the 2018 edition, we are recommended as a band 1 leading shipping & commodities set and have 20 leading silks and 17 leading juniors. 

This well-known shipping set has its roots in admiralty law and as such demonstrates masterful expertise in both wet and dry shipping disputes. It has excellent bench strength in the form of both silks and juniors, whom clients describe as "exceptional in their own right" and "willing to listen to solicitors' needs." Arbitration and mediation services are offered in addition to skilled courtroom advocacy. Many members are multilingual, which aids their participation in international cases. Several of them recently appeared in the Court of Appeal in Yemgas FZCO & Others v Superior Pescadores, which hinged upon the meaning of the clause paramount in bills of lading.
